DaVinci @ the High

Each person is responsible for getting their own tickets. Museum tickets are $18 (unless you're a museum member, Fulton Co resident, BofA cardholder- see comments since you'd need to bring proper ID/cards for that). Parking at the garages = about $10-$15- better to take marta. http://www.high.org/main.taf?p=3,2,1,13,1 From their website: Understanding Leonardo's impact on Renaissance art. Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius will feature approximately 50 works, including more than 20 sketches and studies by Leonardo, some of which will be on view in the United States for the first time. Through an examination of the sculpture that Leonardo studied, the drawings he created for his own sculptural projects (the majority of which were never realized) and his interactions with other Renaissance sculptors, the exhibition sheds new light on Leonardo's seminal role in the development of Renaissance sculpture and the work of artists who followed him. The exhibition comprises three major areas: Leonardo, Sculptor This area features drawings associated with Leonardo's plans for works in sculpture, including an in-depth examination of his plan to create the world's largest and most complex statue, commonly referred to as the Sforza Horse. A 26-foot-high re-creation of this monument will be on display in the Sifly Piazza at the Museum. Leonardo, Student The second section examines the artist's wide-ranging interest in sculpture by pairing his own sketches with existing sculptural works by his influential contemporaries, including his mentor Andrea del Verrocchio. Donatello's famous Bearded Prophet, which has never been seen outside of Florence, Italy, was restored in preparation for Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius and will be included in this part of the exhibition. Leonardo, Mentor The exhibition concludes with Leonardo's influence on a younger generation of artists including Peter Paul Rubens and Giovan Francesco Rustici. RusticiÂÂ's three larger-than-life-size bronze figures that compose John the Baptist Preaching to a Levite and a PhariseeÂÂ-another outstanding work that has never traveled outside of FlorenceÂÂ-will close out the show, examining a friendship and influence shared between the two artists.
